RISC-V is coming on strong, but working with this open-source processor core isn’t as simple as plugging in a commercial piece of IP. Zdenek Prikryl, CTO at Codasip, talks about utilizing hypervisors and open source tools and extensions to the RISC-V instruction set architecture, where design teams can run into problems, what will change as the architecture becomes more mature, the difference between designing using manual approaches versus commercial tools, and what happens when a RISC-V design is incorporated into larger system.
